Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. If you are not comfortable with car audio wiring, seek professional assistance.

Монтаждоо жери

Figure 4: The MB Quart RW-108A subwoofer with its compact dimensions: approximately 13 inches (length) x 9.25 inches (width) x 2.25 inches (height). These dimensions make it suitable for under-seat or other confined spaces.

The MB Quart RW-108A is designed for compact spaces. Common mounting locations include:

• Under a car seat (most common).
• In the trunk or cargo area, secured to a flat surface.
• Behind a truck seat.

Ensure the chosen location allows for adequate air circulation around the unit to prevent overheating. Secure the subwoofer firmly using the provided mounting hardware to prevent movement during vehicle operation.

Зымдарды туташтыруу

1. Жерге туташуу (GND): Connect the ground terminal to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vehicle chassis. Ensure a solid, low-resistance connection.
2. Алыстан күйгүзүү (REM): Connect this terminal to the remote output wire from your head unit. This wire signals the subwoofer to turn on and off with your vehicle's audio system. If your head unit does not have a remote output, you can use the "Auto Turn On" feature (see Product Overview).
3. Кубат туташуу (+12V): Connect this terminal directly to the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery. An in-line fuse (not supplied, but typically included in wiring kits) must be installed within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.
4. Аудио сигнал киргизүү:
   • Төмөн деңгээл киргизүү (RCA): If your head unit has RCA pre-outs, connect them to the subwoofer's RCA inputs.
   • Жогорку деңгээлдеги киргизүү (динамик деңгээли): If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, connect the speaker wires from your head unit to the subwoofer's high-level input terminals.
5. Wired Bass Remote: Plug the wired remote control into its dedicated port on the subwoofer's rear panel. Route the cable to a convenient location for the driver.

Иштөө нускамалары

Once installed, follow these steps to configure and operate your subwoofer:

1. Баштапкы күйгүзүү: Reconnect the vehicle's battery. Turn on your head unit. The Power indicator on the subwoofer should illuminate.
2. Set Input Level (Gain):
   • Turn the Input Level knob on the subwoofer to its minimum setting.
   • Башкы түзүлүшүңүз аркылуу анын максималдуу үнүнүн 75% чамасында күчтүү басс мазмуну бар тааныш музыкалык чыгарманы ойнотуңуз.
   • Slowly increase the Input Level knob on the subwoofer until you hear distortion, then back it off slightly until the sound is clean.
3. Adjust Low Pass Filter (LPF): Set the LPF knob to blend the subwoofer's output seamlessly with your main speakers. A common starting point is between 80Hz and 120Hz. Experiment to find the best sound for your vehicle and music.
4. Adjust Bass Boost: Use the Bass Boost knob sparingly. Excessive bass boost can lead to distortion and potential damage. Adjust to your preference for added low-end impact.
5. Set Phase: Toggle the Phase switch (0° or 180°) while listening to music. Choose the setting that provides the most impactful and cohesive bass response. This helps align the subwoofer's sound waves with your main speakers.
6. Using the Wired Bass Remote: The remote control allows you to adjust the overall bass level on the fly without needing to access the subwoofer unit directly. Turn the knob to increase or decrease the bass output.
